Following charges made today against Ian Watkins, we find ourselves in a state of shock. We are learning about the details of the investigation along with you. It is a difficult time for us and our families, and we want to thank our fans for their support as we seek answers.

After our report yesterday, it was also confirmed that Watkins would not be allowed to seek bail until at least his next hearing on December 31st.

I don't think they do, but I'm genuinely surprised the statement didn't include something like, "We would never support pedophilia or child porn." I mean, 90% of the time in these cases everyone uses them as a chance to take some moral high ground on things almost no one thinks are okay.

While I doubt the band knew about the depths of what Ian is being accused of they had to have some idea of him being a shitty person. A lot of people have been talking about him propositioning underage girls at lostprophets shows, I don't know that should of been some kind of red flag. It makes me think of Josh Homme kicking Nick Oliviri out of Queens of the Stone Age. If you don't want to be associated with shitty things get yourself out of the situation.
